Having said about my preference for JWM/ROX-filer, the laughable thing about it all is that I switched to Puppy when still running ye olde 2005 Compaq desktop; 1st-gen Athlon dual-core w/3 GB DDR1. Lightweight was necessary, y'know?
Now I'm way more up-to-date with a 2019 HP Pavilion desktop; 8th-gen "Coffee Lake" Pentium 'Gold' quad-core, 32 GB DDR4, Nvidia graphics, SSDs, etc, etc.....all the "toys" you can think of (and then some!)
Don't think I haven't tried other stuff. I've tried a whole raft of the mainstream distros, with a bunch of different DEs.....and you know what? With the exception of ZorinOS - which I've kept on an external HDD for nearly a decade, it's that good - I cannot find a single combo that I actually like (or, more importantly, that I could see myself living with for any length of time).
Horses for courses, I guess. I always heave a sigh of relief when I finally get back to the refreshing sanity of the "kennels"!
